I wanted to let you know that my dad, who played here under the name DanTriola (http://www.redhotpawn.com/profile/playerprofile.php?uid=336752), passed away suddenly on Sunday morning. I know this community meant a lot to him and that his most recent move was on the day he died. (He still has a number of active games.)
I'm sorry to pass along the sad news (and don't know if this is the best place on the site to do so), but I wanted to let you all know somehow.
All the best,
Amelia

He posted his USCF number on RHP once and I guess he is this guy:

Can someone who is a member of the USCF check out his rating, as 1288 seems crazily low judging by his play on here.
His obituary:

Edit: I see Fat Lady beat me to the obit. At the USCF website it shows him starting with a rating of 1706 in 1997, with a decline to his passing. His USCF number is a very old one, so his 1200-something rating is probably from way back in the day. The USCF website only shows back to 1991, so his old rating assumably predates that.

Edit: I don't see where you're getting the 1706 in 1997.
Edit2: Ahh, the chess-db site is to blame. If you follow their link to the USCF site, it gives you a different William J. Morris.
Originally posted by SwissGambitGo to the ratings graph. You'll see it there.

EDIT: You have the wrong William J Morris. Try USCF #10142113
EDIT: You've already figured it out!
